DESCRIPTION
Global Digital Infrastructure for Biological Nomenclature and Taxonomy Ellinor Michel, Dep’t of Life Sciences, The Natural History Museum, London, UK, ([email protected]) Richard L. Pyle, Natural Sciences Dep’t, Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI, USA Robert P. Guralnick, Dep’t of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Univ Colorado, Boulder, CO, USA Jon Todd, Dep’t of Earth Sciences, The Natural History Museum, London, UK, The future for interoperable scientific information is digital, yet scientific names, the handles for all biodiversity information, remain without an integrated system tied to published descriptions and museum type specimens. Descriptions and type specimens provide standards for the otherwise fluid concepts of biological taxa. We are working to unify the infrastructures for biological nomenclature across nomenclatural codes (including zoological (ICZN - http://iczn.org/), botanical (ICNafp - http://www.iapt-taxon.org/nomen/main.php) and bacterial (ICNB) codes) through the Global Names Architecture (GNA). Our initial focus is on animal names, as these comprise the largest component of metazoan biodiversity and ZooBank (zoobank.org) is the first code-related online nomenclatural registration system. Users are applied scientists in agriculture, medicine, veterinary science and climate change research; biodiversity researchers such as ecologists, physiologists; archives such as museums; the scientific publishing community – in short, all users of scientific names of organisms based on the work of taxonomists.TRANSCRIPT

All accumulated information of a species is tied to a scientific name, a name that serves as a link between what has been learned in the past and what we today add to the body of knowledge.
- Grimaldi & Engel, 2005
Names and the information revolution
Note: they don’t say THE scientific name (i.e., singular)

• Taxon Names are the fundamental link among virtually all biodiversity information
• Biodiversity Information relates to species concepts, but data resources are usually tied to text-string names
• Text-string names are difficult to cross-link due to spelling variations, different genus-species combinations, homonyms, synonyms, etc.
• Linking text-string names to concepts requires source-based (literature-based) approach
• The key challenge is to cross-link thousands of biodiversity datasets through taxon concepts, using only text-string names

BHL scanned text is processed to discover taxon names in Global Names Index.
Taxon names in GNI are anchored to Protonyms in GNUB.
BHL References cross-linked to Protonyms to
generate Taxon Name Usages.

But we all know that some names aren’t simple
• Sometimes name strings have multiple meanings
• In these cases a name string cannot act as a taxon-identifier without knowing how it has been interpreted

In birds there are many allopatric subspecies and different authorities interpret inclusiveness of taxa in different ways (= different taxon concepts)

Different taxon concepts identified with unique IDs (UUIDs)

• Taxon Names are the fundamental link among virtually all biodiversity information
• Biodiversity Information relates to species concepts, but data resources are usually tied to text-string names
• Text-string names are difficult to cross-link due to spelling variations, different genus-species combinations, homonyms, synonyms, etc.
• Linking text-string names to concepts requires source-based (literature-based) approach
• The key challenge is to cross-link thousands of biodiversity datasets through taxon concepts, using only text-string names
